The distillation process has a long tradition of distilling

Spirit distillation has a long and rich history dating back to the Greeks. Some scholars trace the earliest documented wine distilling techniques back to Anaxilaus of Thessaly, Anaxilaus of Thessaly. Despite this, Rome banned him from practicing magic in 28 B.C. The Greeks followed this theory and discovered that if they boiled wine in an open container, the hot alcohol vapor escaped first. They caught the alcohol vapor next.

The alcohol was detected as a condensed vapor inside the bowl as they slowly heated the wine in a vessel with a small mouth covered by a bowl. The vapor cooled and collected in the receiving vessel, according to Then the Greeks, who added a downward-slanted tube. The word "distill" comes from Latin verb destillare, which means "to drip down."
